<h1>US President gives Russia 50-day ultimatum to accept Ukraine peace deal or face energy sanctions</h1> A US President issued a 50-day ultimatum to Russia to accept a Ukraine peace deal or face energy sanctions, providing Moscow time to pursue its summer offensive. Russian forces have accelerated territorial gains in eastern Ukraine, targeting strongholds in the Donetsk region and establishing buffer zones in northeastern areas. However, Ukrainian resistance, drone warfare capabilities, and manpower shortages make significant Russian breakthroughs unlikely within the timeframe. Russia appears focused on gradually exhausting Ukrainian forces through sustained pressure across multiple fronts rather than achieving rapid territorial conquest. Western weapons supplies remain crucial for Ukraine's defensive capabilities.
